Love Japanese maples but live too far north to grow them? Let Black Lace™ be the gorgeous substitute! With its deeply cut leaves of charcoal, PLUS 6-inch clusters of blooms and vibrant autumn berries, this ever-changing beauty is the showpiece of any hedge, border, foundation, or specimen planting!

The foliage is so divided that it has a ferny, lacy look. It emerges rich black and keeps its color right through summer's heat, playing backdrop in early summer to masses of deep pink buds that open to bright, creamy pink blooms. The flowers are held in clusters about 6 inches wide -- very showy indeed against the charcoal foliage!

The early-summer flowers are followed by blackish-red berries that stand out beautifully against the leaves as summer turns to fall. The berries attract songbirds to this shrub, adding even more color to the garden! You can't beat Black Lace™ for ever-changing beauty!

This remarkable breeding breakthrough is the result of 10 years' breeding work, and has already created a sensation in Western Europe, where it is "the" shrub to grow these days! Black Lace™ gives you all the beauty of a Japanese maple, yet is hardy through zone 4 in the north. It withstands cold winds, very low temperatures, and even partial shade without losing a bit of its appeal.

Black Lace™ would make a perfect hedge, foundation planting, border standout, or specimen. It reaches 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide, a good size for a variety of landscape uses. Design a garden display around its black leaves and early summer flowers, and it may become a favorite in YOUR landscape! Zones 4 to 7.

I bought 14 english roses of three different varieties. Just gorgeous!!!! Wayside sent extremely healthy bareroot plants. The shrubs put on countless full blooms in the first season. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a beautiful rose garden

Wayside Gardens always has a great selection of plants, and lots of great new introductions each year. Their website/catalog provides great information about their plants. I have been shopping with Wayside for the 30+ years I have owned my house. I am really looking forward to adding these plants to my garden.

April 26, 2017

It's nice to have such a wonderful selection. Many of the items carried here are not available at any of our local nurseries. It's fun to have people visit and see plants in my garden that they haven't seen anywhere else.

Been purchasing from Wayside since the 1990's.

I wasn't sure as to what to expect, especially coming from a site. Well I'm glad I found Wayside Gardens. They had a beautiful selection of flowers and quickly found what I was looking for. I sure cannot wait to put my flowers in the ground and watch them grow.

I love Wayside Gardens! Have ordered from them for quite a few years now. The plants are always packaged well and come out of the box strong and healthy. They have good prices and really great sales. Their site is easy to follow straight through to checking out. I will conitnue to reorder from them in the future. Thank you!

I was a little concerned about a shipment from South Carolina to Florida and what kind of condition the plants would be in, but the azaleas arrived in perfect condition and are thriving! The blooms are bigger than the plant at this point!

I am very happy with the quality and size of my plant material especially the root systems which were more than adequate and not pot bound at all. I am switching my large leaf Hydrangea for some smaller varieties and am looking forward to replanting in the spring.
